People who continue to play after blundering a queen in the opening: WHY?

its nice to sacrifice a queen early....but only in 30 sec game......feeling the heat after that....use that sacrifice a lot in my games

Yeah I second DVRazor - take your time. I think it's annoying as well and it happens quite often at my lower rated level but there's normally 2 reasons: a) they are stubborn and want to annoy you or b) they want to get better so use it as an exercise in fighting on while down material, which is fine. In both these cases just take your time and continue to look for the best moves and if they are in the first category then I find they sometimes get too sick of waiting for you and give up (typically by just quitting), or if they're in the second, it'll be good for you to be paying attention because people tend to start playing well and/or tricky when they go down a piece.

"People who continue to play after blundering a queen in the opening: WHY?"

I lost count of the number of games I won after losing my Queen. People who resign are quitters.

I never complain if somebody wants to play until end. For me it's good practice to see how fast I can checkmate.

Because if they find out a way to win despite the odds (and this has happened innumerable times), you'll cry badly. And for the opponent, NOTHING FEELS BETTER!

@Neverness Totally agree, the games when you lost queen and still win are very satysfying and when the enemy sees that the next move is check-mate he pauses for a while and either leaves or resigns unless he doesn't see check-mate then is's just unpleasant surprise for him and a lesson that he should take game with material up seriously.

my opponent sacrificed his queen in move 2, but he thought it was anti-chess, not 960. LOL!!

In chess, "Strong did what they could and weak suffered what they must" is absolutely true. BUT, it is not "Strong is granted everything in a silver plate without a fight". I don't understand people who expect the other side to just roll over and die. If I blunder (happens too much), I collect myself and go into "You wanna piece of me? Come get somee!!!" mode :D.

advantages to that
1. Next time you are less likely to blunder, since it hurts
2. You win an unexpectedly high amount of these games.

@ neverness.

Ha ha, good answer. It's a great feeling when your opponent snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hey you guys that think you're to good too play on, just go ahead and resign. #4, #9, #13, and #14 had very good refutations.

#8 I was trying to quantify the decision making process in resign or not resign. However I chose percentages that were arbitrary. Probably should have not tried to do this as opinions will vary. What ever floats your boat.
Maybe we are referring to lower rated games where it is possible to be a queen and 2 pieces down in a hopeless position and the opponent keeps on irritatingly playing on despite the inevitability of defeat. At what point should a player resign? There must be some point, after all it is an option on the action choices. The original post expressed irritation at opponents who played on despite facing certain defeat. Opinions range from never give in, to resign relatively early.
